While in the area we visited this beautiful old Church and saw the WW1 Roll of Honour. Although not Scottish, thought we might share it here.

There is a paper Roll of Honour in a glass case which is contained within a wooden cabinet.

Th

The inside of the doors also list the names from the Roll.

One of the Wake brothers has an interesting middle name given there was a Saxon anti-Norman freedom fighter called Hereward the Wake.

This is a lovely example of a one-off roll of honour but without a connection to Scotland I suggest it is moved to Off-Topic rather than Outside Scotland.

Thanks

Adam

Adam,
Please feel free to move this to wherever you think appropriate. I wasn't sure where it should go if at all anywhere.

It looks like the men are listed in the order in which they died.
